one of my friends forwarded me one of these quizzes today. as you would expect, it’s full of cultural references and i didn’t do so well but a few questions were quite funny so thought i’d share a couple. of course, only aussies might find them funny.
What does having a ‘chunder’ mean?
thank u to men at work for enlightening me about this term years ago but i don’t think i’ve heard anyone actually say the word since i’ve been here.
Best Aussie name is what?
a) Cheryl
b) Charlene
c) Bazza
d) Thommo
e) Shazza
geez, i don’t even know how to start explaining why that is funny. the choice of names or the abbreviation. i am surprised kylie isn’t there.
What do the following terms mean:
a) Mate?
b) Maate
c) Maaaaaaate?
i think this one is pretty telling as this makes a lot of sense to me (telling as in how assimulated i am). or at least i think it makes sense. the subtleties here are one of those things that could trip me up.
